You know what can happen if you switch TV channels too quickly with your remote? Your brain mooshing together separate bits of infotainment and leaving you to believe that, say, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced today he would not be running for California governor in 2010 because he is taking up with the divorcing John & Kate Plus 8 lady.

Matt Coker has been engaging, enraging and entertaining readers of newspapers, magazines and websites for decades. He spent the first 13 years of his career in journalism at daily newspapers before "graduating" to OC Weekly in 1995 as the paper's first calendar editor. He has contributed as a freelance editor and writer to several publications and been the subject of or featured in several reports online, in print and on the radio and television. One of countless times he returned to his Costa Mesa, CA, home with a bounty of awards from a journalism competition, his wife told him to take out the trash.
